"The HEATS Act cuts unnecessary red tape, strengthens our energy security and supply chains, and brings more affordable, reliable power online."
Bring more affordable, reliable power online by advancing geothermal energy development.
Occurrences
Evidence
Young Kim said the House passed her HEATS Act, which removes federal barriers to geothermal projects and would "bring more affordable, reliable power online"; the release says the bill then headed to the Senate.
The official press-release archive's latest entries through June 18, 2026 are on unrelated topics (for example fraud, critical minerals, foreign affairs, and payment policy); no newer geothermal-specific update appears in the lookback window after the Apr. 23 HEATS Act release. This is an inference from the archive contents.
Assessments
Young Kim clearly took concrete action on this promise by introducing the HEATS Act to reduce federal barriers to geothermal projects, and her office stated the House passed it on April 23, 2026. That is meaningful advancement toward geothermal development, but there is no verified evidence here that the bill became law or that it directly brought additional affordable, reliable power online. Congress.gov also does not show the bill as enacted, so full delivery is not supported. Under a federal legislative promise standard, this is best scored as partial same-term progress rather than delivered.
